Perhaps most importantly, it provides a solid estimate of the premium the Australian taxpayer currently pays for local construction, and what the ‘best case’ figure might be in the future. The headline answer for the current premium is 30–40% for ships built entirely in Australia, and less for ships only partly built here.
Yet, it is OK to pay more for something...if it gives you a better combat capability than something you bought off the shelf.
And not just the other benefits to home ship/sub building that are being mentioned.
